I don't know who is more sickened by Galways brilliant performance and the unbelievable job of the Management and players - Wexford lads, Dublin Lads, Cork lads, or Loughrea lads!

Replying To CTGAA10:  "One match I'm actually delighted to get out of..limerick hung in there when it just wasn't going right..Clare will probably wonder how they lost it..Kelly missed a huge goal chance that would have put it beyond limerick..
Clare probably lucky that either cleary or Lohan didn't get 2 yellows..on the other hand people will say Nicky was very lucky to escape,only thing in his favour was Duggan hadn't control of ball..definitely the rule needs to be looked at..
Limerick weren't at it for most of match and Clare produced their best performance of year..delighted by the win and really looking forward to next 2 weeks..
On another note best of luck to Shane o Donnell in whatever he does next..a superb hurler who lit up hurling for years..a gentleman and a great ambassador for the Gaa.."
hard to control the ball when you are being hit in the head and tripped in the one movement ;-)

Been a while since we had the Loughrea posters on complaining about a bias against Loughrea in team selections. Probably not since the round robin loss to Dublin I'd say. Btw well done to Tiernan Killeen -- great game last Saturday.

You do realise that Fionn is far more optimistic than hes letting on don't you?

Replying To Seniorleague:  "True but itd be kinda annoying to wake up and see England gone. Id rather watch it happen,but im not staying up either.
Having said that an England world cup win wouldnt unduly bother me,,(ill get my coat)"
Funnily id rather see them beat on penalties in the final but it would be too risky.

Mexico by far the better team in the second half albeit they had an extra man. Pity they couldn't take one of those chances. I suppose now we all turn in Norway supporters

Replying To Fionn:  "No offence but you have been overly optimistic all year... even when we got relegated.
You had us beating every single team in Leinster and now you have a Dublin team with a mix of old players way past their best and a few newbies who most outside Dublin never heard of before this season versus a Kerry team in their prime, as a 51% to 49% game.
Wow.

IMO you are both over projecting the Dubs squad who have been awful all season, except the last 2 games
and
not giving the team from Munster enough credit.

IMO there is at least 6pts between these teams.
PP have Kerry as 4/9
and the Dubs at 5/2
Just about right I reckon.

If you are that confident you should follow the poster from Limerick/Kerry and put a wee wager on with PP
;o)"
No offence taken but we had players injured that are back now.
P.P has a 3 point handicap.I only backed us twice this year against Donegal and Galway.I might be over cinfident but you had Dubs in the gutter Fionn.We are here on merit.

Replying To hlynch12:  "3 guarantees Martin"
If you did put 2k on them Id say you will likely be collecting. Nothing guaranteed with betting though, the last day I was backing horses for a day, I was well up after the 3rd race, and the bookies had it all back by bedtime.....

Mine:
Tailteann Cup: Down by 3
Semi finals: Louth by 2, Kerry by 6"
Mayo and Kerry by 4 and Down by 2

Hopefully three competitive games and as contests they basically aren't over with 20 minutes to play.

Being from a county that has their fair share of beatings I'd still rather be in the final as not. Going by your quote you'd rather Mayo beat Louth to save Louth getting beat in the final. Weird.

Replying To Gaa_lover:  "No particular reason. Narrative is Joyce has done 7 years and that's how Galway did in the previous 7 years up to oneself on how you judge it."
A fair bit of revisionism there.
Galway (and connacht football) was poor from 2002 to 2010.

Mayo rose substantially in 2011 and left Galway behind -2013 being the extreme.

Sean Walsh came in and knocked Mayo off their Connacht perch in 2016 with a defensive style of play suited to beating Mayo which didnt work in Croke Park.

After 2019, Galway football were sick of Washes style of play and PJ arrived promising a glorious brand of attacking football, only for Mayo to wipe the floor with them in a pre covid league match.

During the covid break, PJ realised gaelic football, as it was then, required either a defense of all star man markers (like Dublin and Mayo) or a set of sweepers.
He went down rhe defensive (and cynical) route, which got success, to the point where he reached a final in 2024. A championship that was so bad, and defensive football having consumed the game, forced the GAA to change the rules completely.

We now have a different game (designed by the Mayo, Kerry and Dublin managers from the 2010's - the 3 men who had played attacking football in that time), which requires attacking play and punishes defensive and cynical play.

PJ's problem is he failed to see the opportunity in the new rules and didnt try the attacking football he once professed to love.
He also has a backroom team of managers, not elite level coaches. The team doesnt look well coached as a result.

Tomas Farthing released by Connacht rugby. Wonder will be stick with the rugby elsewhere or play some football. Was a superb corner back at underage. Has missed a lot of football though while trying his hand at rugby.

Replying To avonali:  "If Galway go on and win it, will people perhaps revise their opinions of the abilities of this Dublin team?"
Unfortunately, while Galway have staked a claim there is little beyond the four semi finalists.

Might change but Dublin and others still in "one big win" a year mode..
